When I was a 14 year old fan of Harry Potter, and only the first four books were released, I was sure Rowling would do more to address the moral heinousness of the wizarding world.

There's a storyline in the fourth book where Hermione finds out that Hogwarts has a staff of slaves. Yes, for those of you who haven't read the books, the wonderful magical boarding school is literally staffed by slaves. Hermione is horrified and starts an activist organization to oppose it. She fails to rally anyone to her side, and most people just dismiss her and say that everything is fine. To 14-year-old me, it seemed obvious that this storyline had to be resolved by Hermione winning, and with slavery being abolished in the wizarding world.

Well, that doesn't happen. And everyone just goes right on living like everything is fine. Harry doesn't care. Ron never stops actively defending the practice of slavery. And other characters think Hermione is an unreasonable harpy for whining so much about the issue.

There were many other disappointing realizations over the next few years of my life until I realized that the books were completely morally bankrupt. And then Rowling started tweeting and things got even worse.

It’s not even metatextual, straight up surface level observations with the magic vocabulary stripped off

Rowling wrote the first book while living on British welfare and the early books are filled with critique of societies treatment of exploited groups. Then as her wealth grew the story shifted from "The world is bad and should be improved" to "the status quo must be restored/preserved"
